First Supermoto shots for the year

kurtw

These are some of my favorites from the first Oregon supermoto (and mini) event of the year at Mac Track in McMinnville.

Any C&C is welcomed.

#1 Dicing


#2 Looking through the apex


#3 Down the front straight


#4 Father-son


#5 Who needs brakes?


#6 Embracing the industrial backgrounds


#7 Another up-and-comer


#8 Not bad for his first day on a full sized supermoto bike


#9 Wringing the little TTR for all it's got


Thanks for looking!

:yikes That TTR has an interesting tire set-up for sumo. I like the shot of the DRZ and the father/son shot.
Most could benefit from a tighter crop but otherwise, looks like a great day at the track!

I agree, the images would benefit from tighter crops for drama.

Excellent exposures, maybe slower shutter would give a little spoke blur

Thanks guys.

I was trying to find different angles and intentionally leaving some of the crops more open on some of the obvious ones. I did some panning shots but wasn't happy with the backgrounds in the corners that I was panning from.

For the non-panning shots (all of these), I agree that I could slow down the shutter enough to just so a hint of spoke blue. Shots like the last one always looks funny when everything is totally static.
